Nahinso Chief arrested for unauthorized road works

The Chief of Nahinso, Nana Addo Boaman, was arrested by officials of the Asokwa Municipal Assembly in the Ashanti Region for carrying out road works without official permission.

He was later granted bail over the weekend.

The Chief explained that, the road had been causing flooding in the area and despite appeals, authorities failed to address the issue.

Frustrated by the situation, he took the initiative to fill pits created by alleged sand-winning activities and repair the road to make it usable.

The road construction had been abandoned after the drains were built, worsening the road’s condition.

However, officials from the Asokwa Municipal Assembly stopped him, claiming that he had no permission to do the road works.

The chief insists that, he will continue his efforts to fix the road despite the arrest and persistent opposition.
